Oscars highlights and reactions
Like Ellen's epic selfie, Jennifer Lawrence's Oscars trip and Moonlight beating La La Land, there were some big moments at Oscars 2019. We saw Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's stirring performance of Shallow, Spike Lee winning his first non-honorary Oscar and Olivia Coleman thanking Lady Gaga for her best-actress award. Here are social media's reactions to those moments.
Some were surprised, and less than ecstatic, about Green Book's best-picture win.
Best picture for Green Book

Many were happy about Alfonso Cuarón's best-director win.
The Mexicans keep winning! Felicidades Alfonso @alfonsocuaron Best Director #Oscars2019
— Mexican Judge (@laloalcaraz) February 25, 2019
Olivia Coleman quite possibly gave the funniest Oscars speech of all time. "Thank you, Lady Gaga!"
THE Josh Gad of THE Frozen had this to say.
Holy shit!!! #OliviaColman wins!!!! My QUEEN!!!!!!!!
— Josh Gad (@joshgad) February 25, 2019
Olivia Colman, hands down one of the most entertaining acceptance speeches at the #Oscars
— Mohamed Salih (@MohamedMOSalih) February 25, 2019
Some people end their speeches thanking God. Olivia Colman ends hers thanking Lady Gaga. That feels right.

Rami Malek's best-actor win got mixed reviews. Pictoline was very animated about his success.
You are the champion, Rami Malek👏👏👏#Oscars #Oscar2019 pic.twitter.com/0roFA5yVNT
— pictoline (@pictoline) February 25, 2019
But some weren't as impressed.
Rami Malek won an Oscar for fake singing, fake playing instruments, and fake teeth. Lmaoooooooo #oscars
— Anthony (@anthagiox) February 25, 2019
Either way, Malek still achieved a first.
Rami Malek - first time an Arab American has won Best Actor? Dope, regardless. #Oscars.
— Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) February 25, 2019
Lady Gaga made history with her song Shallow.
Lady Gaga has won her first Academy Award for Best Original Song - Shallow! This makes shallow the most awarded song in history! #Oscars
— Lady Gaga Now 👾 (@LadyGagaNowNet) February 25, 2019
And there was possibly another first involving Gaga.
Something major just happened. After “Shallow” perf, @ladygaga & Bradley Cooper exited stage for commercial break. During break, they came back to their seats from stage then audience gave them another standing o. I’ve never seen that happen for any performers. Cue embrace#Oscars pic.twitter.com/k9wNh66tn1
— Chris Gardner (@chrissgardner) February 25, 2019
Some were happy campers following Black Panther's third win of the night for best original score.

That's going in the highlight reel. #Oscars
Stephen Amell of Arrow was quite happy with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's Oscars singing performance.
Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga singing is the greatest thing that’s ever happened on television.
— Stephen Amell (@StephenAmell) February 25, 2019
The chemistry was palpable, apparently.
And with those opening notes, Lady Gaga is now expecting Bradley Cooper's child. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/hABpinKt6y
— Ashley Spencer (@AshleyySpencer) February 25, 2019
People saw through Period. End of Sentence's best documentary -- short subject win.
Period pieces are always Oscars bait
— Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) February 25, 2019

Some people weren't too happy with Bohemian Rhapsody's win for best sound editing.
Do they... think that Sound Editing is an award for... volume control? #Oscars
— Daniel Fienberg (@TheFienPrint) February 25, 2019
Can you literally *hear* Jurassic Park? Back to the Future? Braveheart? TITANIC?! Sound editing is so critical to a film’s staying power, and this year’s nominees are such a testament to that. OK, sound rant over. Good luck to all! #TheOscars
— Netflix Film (@NetflixFilm) February 25, 2019
Some interesting tidbits coming out of Twitter. This one on horror films being snubbed at the Oscars.
Bohemian Rhapsody beats out A Quiet Place for Best Sound Editing, so horror loses its one shot at an Oscar this year #Oscars
— James A. Janisse (@JamesAJanisse) February 25, 2019
Here's one take on Bohemian Rhapsody's film-editing win.
Ladies and gentlemen, Best Film Editing nominee BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. What a joke. This is nauseating and it’s only 25 seconds! pic.twitter.com/75UyTMukWK
— Jesse Taylor (@jesssetaylor) February 19, 2019
People called back to this thread on Bohemian Rhapsody's editing.
the editing of the first 10 seconds is giving me taken 3 war flashbacks pic.twitter.com/1wzpqQIyAw

Black Panther's first Oscar win for best costume design was big for many reasons.
Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter is the FIRST black woman to ever win Best Costume Design! Historic moment. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/361t7b4SJQ
— Denizcan Grimes (@MrFilmkritik) February 25, 2019
Black Panther's second Oscar win for best production design was another historic win.
Production design is another landmark: “Hannah Beachler is the first African-American ever nominated for the award in production design. She helped create the cinematic world of Wakanda.” https://t.co/47rv4znFBh

Macaulay Culkin had thoughts on the best makeup and hairstyling category.
Vice for best makeup? You can make anyone bald! Show me a movie where Dick Cheney has hair and then I’m impressed! #MackTweetsTheOscars
— Macaulay Culkin (@IncredibleCulk) February 25, 2019
Best documentary feature winner Free Solo had many happy supporters, in many categories.
undesirable opinion but the wall in free solo deserved at least a nom for best supporting actor
— Jackson Ryan 🙏 (@dctrjack) February 25, 2019
Oprah Winfrey was moved by Regina King's best supporting actress win.
In tears watching @ReginaKing. Such an authentic acceptance. Bravo to you! and Amen, God IS good all the time! #Oscars
— Oprah Winfrey (@Oprah) February 25, 2019
People also loved Chris Evans heroically helping King up the stairs to accept her award.
